Todd P. Coleman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He holds B.S. degrees in electrical engineering and computer engineering from the University of Michigan, as well as M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from MIT. As a postdoctoral scholar, he studied quantitative neuroscience at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital. He directs the Neural Interaction Laboratory at UCSD, where his group conducts research on flexible “tattoo electronics” for neurological monitoring, quantitative approaches to understanding interacting brains, and design of novel brain-computer interface applications. His research is highly interdisciplinary, at the intersection of bio-electronics, neuroscience, and applied probability. His recent research on “wireless tattoo electronics” has been featured by CNN, The New York Times, and Popular Science. Coleman is a science advisor for the Science and Entertainment Exchange (National Academy of Sciences). He will be an invited speaker at the 2013 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting, on the topic of “Advances in Brain-Machine Interfaces: Applications and Implications.”
